FISHIN FOR CHICKENS - HOBO JIM capo2 D


VERSE:
     C                 C7
Well grandpa gave me a fishin pole and
F              D
We never had a fishin hole
C                                            G
Down on the farm that really didn’t matter to us
C                   C7
We’d sit out on the old front porch
F                        D
With a rusty can full of kernel corn
C               G                   C
Bait ‘er up and cast ‘er out in the dust

CHORUS:
            F                          C
Fishin’ fer chickens trying to catch a bigun
G
White ones black ones yellow ones and red ones
C
Don’t matter just long as I get one
           F                 C        Am
Mama finds out gonna catch a
G                                C
Mama don’t like nobody fishin for chickens


VERSE:
    C                    C7
I remember the time that I got in
     F                  D
On a feedin frenzy in a school of hens
          C                                                   G
And I was reelin one in Just when mama came flyin through the door
     C                   C7
Said cut that loose kid before you kill it
          F                       D
I said it swallowed the hook mama grease up the skillet
  C                G                 C
I knew she’s gonna wring my neck for sure


CHORUS:
            F                          C
Fishin’ fer chickens trying to catch a bigun
G
White ones black ones yellow ones and red ones
C
Don’t matter just long as I get one
           F                 C        Am
Mama finds out gonna catch a
G                                C
Mama don’t like nobody fishin for chickens


BRIDGE:

Am                               C
Every morning in the misty light While my mama was sleepin tight
Am                              G
I’d be sittin by grandpa’s side Waitin for the chickens to bite
      C                         C7
I was sittin on the front steps dreamin a bit
       F                 D
When I felt that leghorn rooster hit
            C                                            G
And grandpa yelled out boy that’s the biggest one I ever saw
    C                 C7
You land that one son sure enough
      F                     D
We’ll drive him to town and get him stuffed
               C
And when your mama ain’t lookin
      G                        C
We’ll hang that rooster on the wall

CHORUS:
            F                          C
Fishin’ fer chickens trying to catch a bigun
G
White ones black ones yellow ones and red ones
C
Don’t matter just long as I get one
           F                       C      Am
Mama finds out gonna catch another lickin
G                      F                  G
Mama don’t like nobody Mama don’t allow nobody
F                 G               C
Mama don’t like nobody fishin for chickens
